Ubuntu Grub does not detect not Windows partition

Hello
I am currently using a laptop ACER provided with pre-installed Windows Vista. About 6 months ago I had my boot dual PC by Ubuntu editing I. Everything worked fine for a few months, I used to get an option to boot into Vista at startup. But suddenly, this option disappeared. I am not able to understand why this happened. Now ACER not provided me with any disk recovery. Please suggest what to do.

The question in the Ubuntu Forums above.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to get Vista recovery Media and/or to use the Vista recovery Partition on your computer.

There is no Vista free download legal available.

https://secure.TX.Acer.com/rcdb/main.aspx?brand=Acer

Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Also, ask them if you still have on your computer/laptop recovery Partition to restore it to factory settings.

See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

Normally, you press F10 or Alt + F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You can also make recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

They will tell you how to do this.

Every computer manufacturer has their way of doing recovery disk/s.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    I saw a similar question for Apple computers, but it does not work under Linux and neither does Windows patches. It only started with the last udate to Firefox.

    I have tried many things to get my iTunes to open, but for some reason, it does not. He started about 2 days ago, but I could still open, it's just that I could not open after another program. Today, however, it just doesn't open at all. If I press ctrl + alt + delete, I can see the processes running, but the program itself never appears. I reinstalled, repaired, erased files, go to safe mode, tried different users, nothing works. Can someone help me?

  • Windows Search service does not (Windows 7)

    I am running Windows 7 64 bit.
    Whenever I try to search that I am asked to turn on indexing, and I do.
    Because it is a recurring event, I studied further in indexing options.
    Indexing options said "indexing does not work" and and only allows me to enter the advanced options.
    Automatic troubleshooting futher gives me error measage "Windows Search service does not..." "Not fixed".
    I checked the services and tried to force start this service and get "error 3: the system cannot find the path specified."

    Can someone help me with this service?

    Security of Windows 7 is a PIA and what my problem was. "Indexing does not' and my inability to start theWindows Search service has persisted despite all these tips above and much more.

    When I went to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data and took possession of it (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/), I was able to restart the Windows Searchservice. Subsequently, indexing ran and worked.

    We need the value of the securities of the ProgramData (C:\ProgramData) directory in order to stop this _ to interfere with the installation of programs and, often, the execution of programs and services. Right-click on C:\ProgramData and select Security, then the set of permissions to allow all permissions (http://www.blogsdna.com/2159/how-to-take-ownership-grant-permissions-to-access-files-folder-in-windows-7.htm) and the problem disappeared. (Note C:\ must be path of your window or use your default root.)

    Thank you Microsoft Support for your irrational, frustrating security measures and the fact that your support team has no idea. You have not been able to write a user friendly OS from XP and probably since MSDOS. Too bad I hate Apple more than you.

    6 hours of BS to understand this.

    I hope it works for you.

  • USB 3.0 does not, Windows cannot find drivers

    Hello

I tried looking for drivers on websites (manufacturers of motherboard and processor) Biostar and AMD, but failed to find the right one. Could someone help?

Now it was working fine a few days ago, that I have no idea what continues to everything and I'm just a bit of new features in Windows. When using the commands to open the taskbar, it does not open but the icon appears at the bottom. I click on the taskbar icon and nothing appears at all the... When I move my mouse over the taskbar button I can see, but it will not appear. It's like he is completely invisible now and I can see it is more more.  I have no idea what to do and I tried clicking and running as administrator but still it even will not open I'm out of ideas.

    Hi Anthony,.

    Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft Community forum.

    We understand that you aren't able to open the taskbar. We appreciate the steps of troubleshooting that you tried it on the computer. We would be happy to help you. This could cause because of system files corrupted on your computer.
     
    1. Since when are you facing this problem?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer?

    Try the following methods:

    Method 1:

    -Press on the Windows key + R

    -Type taskmgr

    Check if you are able to access Task Manager

    Method 2:

    -Press Ctrl + SHIFT + ESC key

    Check if you are able to access Task Manager

     

    Method 3:

    Run the Microsoft safety scanner.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

    Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files

    Refer (to repair manually corrupted files, see the details of the File Checker process system to find the corrupted file and then manually replace the corrupted file with a known good copy of the file)
